Hi STer's. Stephen Miller is a long time friend of mine. Roomates in Tahoe for half a decade also.
I think he is about 65 years old now. Still climbing. I received a letter from him a few years ago that I thought I would share here. He would approve.

other stories out there? Rick, Paul, Ron ?

P.S. This is the 1st thread I have started.

Is this the same Steve Miller who climbed the FA of the Hindu in Onion Creek, UT, with Harvey T Carter? That would have been 1964.

I will contact Steve and find out. Probably take a few extra days because of the holidays.

What's the name of the route Norwegian is on, before the Fracture? The one with the knob tie-offs and the horizontal up near the top. I remember that one being quite fun."

"Norwegian"
